All events will run from 11am to 4pm and more details will be announced in May 2023.
Mark Widdup, director of neighbourhoods at Rochdale Borough Council said: “Moving the family element of Rochdale Feel Good Festival into a park setting and creating a much bigger, better and more welcoming event is something we have been planning for a while so it’s great to be able to confirm the dates and locations. These are going to be 4 fantastic days of free-to-attend fun and culture for families. Magical days out in beautiful settings, with an exciting line-up that we will be revealing very soon.”
The Feel Good Family Picnic will be staged by the council in partnership with Without Walls, a consortium of festivals and arts organisations bringing fantastic outdoor arts to people in towns and cities across England.
